Loved the winner and 3 of the other 4 finalist. She was the right choice. I was shocked Texas made it as far as she did based on her swimsuit performance. To me, Texas was a wreck. I am surprised Michigan and Hawaii didn't make it to the Top 15. And sadly, Vermont still hasn't made it to the Top 15.... Miss USA had the Delaware Curse, I guess Miss America has the Vermont Curse!
